if you hv older with arthritis, i'm not recommended to go very near to monas
since it's quite far
it's better if you only take photos from distance
unless you need to go to peak of monas
with lift ride

If you wait for the little transportation bus they have when you enter; it will take you directly to where you have to enter. Great place to go to see and read about Indonesian history and it's struggle for independence.
